So, if you haven't already done so, we would like to warmly invite you to tell us what you think about the programme objectives and to share your feedback on the design proposals.We would also be grateful if you could remind your neighbours to participate in the survey before it closes to ensure we get as much of the community engaged with the shaping of Warwick Avenue at this formative stage of the programme.Thank you for your time and participation!

Have your say about the proposed concept designs 

Survey 

Welcome

This survey takes about 10 minutes and seeks your&nbsp;feedback on the preliminary design proposals for Warwick Avenue public realm.&nbsp;Your feedback will help define a preferred design proposal to take forward to the next stage.

Project Objectives

The Project Objectives have been developed in response to the community engagement findings, a technical appraisal of existing site conditions, and input from key stakeholders.&nbsp;On the below drop-down menu you can see the objectives in more detail.&nbsp;

Design Proposals

We used the Project Objectives as a departure point for the design brief and developed a Baseline Proposal and two further iterations which build upon the Baseline approach with additional design ideas. We also developed a fourth proposal that responds to the more ambitious community aspirations.On the below drop-down menu you can read about the four design proposals, and view the Exhibition Boards which include more detail.&nbsp;On the next pages we will show you the proposals one by one and ask for your feedback.

You can see the public exhibition boards here

An Improved Neighbourhood Space

The baseline proposal&nbsp;focuses on protecting the street&rsquo;s character while re-arranging existing features to create more generous, pleasant places and a better use of space around the Underground station, vent shaft, Cabmen&rsquo;s Shelter and gateways into Warwick Avenue.&nbsp;The baseline design proposal would involve:<ul><li>minimal changes to kerb lines and parking to unlock the opportunity of a new neighbourhood space;</li><li>upgraded, step-free pedestrian crossings to improve accessibility, new way-finding, and improved lighting;</li><li>additional trees would be planted where appropriate, and new areas of low level greenery would be created.</li></ul>

An Improved Neighbourhood Space + A Central Green Route

Beyond the baseline proposal for Warwick Avenue, we have also drawn up a series of potential additional ideas for improving the street.This second idea includes all the benefits of the baseline proposal &#39;An Improved Neighbourhood&#39; and additionally creates an accessible green walking route on the median down the centre of Warwick Avenue.

An Improved Neighbourhood Space + An Enhanced Avenue

Beyond the baseline proposal for Warwick Avenue, we have also drawn up a series of potential additional ideas for improving the street.This third idea includes all the benefits of the baseline proposal &#39;An Improved Neighbourhood&#39; and additionally creates wider footways, more greening, trees and other improvements down both sides of Warwick Avenue.

A Series of Gardens

The idea for a series of gardens takes a different approach from the baseline proposals shown on the previous pages.This idea would be the most ambitious and include simplifying road layouts to create a two-way street and a new series of gardens from north to south, while maintaining access on Warwick Avenue.Whilst the feasibility of this design is subject to additional technical studies, we are eager to hear whether there is local appetite for exploring a more ambitious approach.
